Since reading Harry Potter and the Cursed Child last week, I've been thinking a lot about plays. I used to read (and write) a lot of plays back in high school and college. At some point, my reading shifted to teleplays and screenplays (a Broadcasting & Film degree will do that), but I never lost … Continue reading Reading the Shelves – Check-In
